I will never forget that draft. It's the perfect example of the Feaster/Weisbrod regime. Lots of big statements, little to back it up. "Best player in the draft," "best player not in the NHL." When you look at the players the Flames passed on to take Jankowski, it's just bad. One of the more painful decisions to come out of that era of the Flames.
He's a fine bottom six player, but I don't see how he was worth the 1st round pick.
